for a certain period you can only have one price and currency in an info record.

it is not forseen to have 2 or more prices and currencies for the same period in a info record, so that you can choose which one you want, like it is when you have 2 or more invoicing partner in the partner roles.

Use option of Vendor Sub-Range for Vendor Master and maintain different Purchasing Data for these VSRs.

In XK02, under "Purchasing" tab, click menu Extras --> Add.purchasing data. Here maintain VSR Code and Description and come back.

Here click on button "Alternative Data', a pop-up will appear, here select the VSR and views Purchasing / Partner data to maintain the Purchasing Data. And then maintain the Purchasing Details and Save.

In ME21N, at Item Details level, under "Material data" Tab, select the appropriate VSR Code to select the different Currency for vendor.

Hi Chandu,

this part is very clear to me, but how does the story go on.

from where is the price taken? do you have info records per VSR for one and the same material?

Hi,

Sorry Jorgan , with the help of VSR we can't maintain two inforecords for same material , But we can change currency for the same vendor while creatingpo.

to order in a different currency is possible even without VSR.

so there is no real benefit for this special scenario using VSR, ss one info record can only belong to one VSR.

I just got one more idea.

It should be possible to create 2 contracts, one in USD and the other in EUR.

Then the user can choose to which contract he want place the order.

[rafael_zaragatzky]

Very good idea with the contracts! When it comes to VSR, as I mentioned in my first post, you can define different currencies for the same vendor by plant or assortment (=VSR). The same assortment is always allocated to the same currency. A material always belong to some assortment, hence it is logical why VSR is just a field in the info record and that one material for one specific vendor can have only one default currency.

I mentioned this option because it could be very convenient solution to Ishu's pbm if the different currencies where needed for the different plants or assortments.

Hi ,

I think using pricing conditions is more suitable for this scenerio. if you have a condtion table which include currency field then you can assing it to acces sequence of your gross price condititon so that system can pick up the price according to po currency.

Hi,

Yes it is possible with vendor subranges

You can maintain them by plant or an assortment (VSR). If you can tell which currency to use by plant and/or assortment, you can define the different currencies in the vendor master. When you then enter a PO with only items of that specific plant/assortment, then the system will fetch the alternative purchasing data from the vendor master rather than the main data.

You allocate materials to assortments in their corresponding info records or type the VSR directly in the PO.

Hi Ishu,

There's something called "alternative purchasing data" in the vendor master. You can maintain them by plant or an assortment (VSR). If you can tell which currency to use by plant and/or assortment, you can define the different currencies in the vendor master. When you then enter a PO with only items of that specific plant/assortment, then the system will fetch the alternative purchasing data from the vendor master rather than the main data.

You allocate materials to assortments in their corresponding info records or type the VSR directly in the PO.

If you don't find how to maintain the altrernative data in the vendor master, check [the system documentation|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/2c/614e3981187116e10000000a114084/frameset.htm].

I have never really worked with VSR, just tested it once 13 years ago.

Isn't the VSR not just a field in an info record?

Which means one info record can only belong to one VSR, hence you cannot have multiple currencies for the same item?

Hi,

It is possible to map your requirement by using vendor subranges. Please check the VSR.

Hi

As you know currency maintain in vendor Master record and its flow in Po,We cannot maintain multiple currency for vendor

so I don't think so it will possible for same vendor code,If you can create two vendor code for same vendor in system ,then it will possible to maintain differnt currency fora vendor or split valuation may be another option for your requirement,its only for material valuation
